On the Road

Drama


 

Two aspiring young writers continuously take off across America to find 'it', and themselves.

"On the Road" effortlessly embodies the universal free spirit, and will tap into the inner adventurer in many people. The scripting is very literary, and it feels like it has been written more as a novel rather than a screenplay. The characters talk in an almost Shakespearean dialogue, and embody a Greek philosophical mindset. Their relationship with each other, and themselves, is very fleeting and empty, but thankfully, the gas tank is always full, and it's interesting to sit in the passenger seat of their drug-fuelled ride across America.
